Which agencies should make a move to sign top R U Next trainees? My ideas

so we now know the group but that said

we know there are: Jiwoo, Jeongeun, Jeemin, Jihyun, Himena, Chanelle, Funa, Hyewon, Seoyeon

and we also have the ones like Ruka or Moa which were eliminated earlier

In your opinion which agencies should try to gather some talent?

Personally I would say that:

HighUp - STAYC's agency could take some girls, I know they already have some trainees so... and also BEP are good with taking in trainees which were training in good agencies and developing them even more. My recomm: Jiwoo, Jeongeun, Jeemin, Ruka

BPM - VIVIZ's agency could take some girls as well, we all know that altough Viviz debuted last year they are idols that we know for very long time so there is room for new group. They would need group with different color tho, maybe more fitting cute/fairy concepts so Jeongeun, Himena, Hyewon, Ruka

MODHAUS - tripleS + ARTMS (Loona Heejin etc.) agency could take some girls as well there are still 8 'S' spots left in tripleS. Here to recommend some I would try to go for one or two finalists, that would be good press for agency, and let's be honest Chanelle would be amazing addition here, she can both be main vocal and main rapper.

CUBE - (G)I-DLE debuted in 2018, and Lightsum debuted in 2021 but well it didn't work out till now..., Soyeon said she can't wait for debut of new CUBE trainees, which means they are good but Soyeon also said herself that she know how important it is to have visual or popular member who can attract fans so Jeemin would be a perfect pick for them. But CUBE as agency is also pretty good with utilizing foreign talent so maybe Moa as Thai member, Funa as visual, and Chanelle as international fans fav?

Starship - this one will come to many of you as surprise but here me out, with 2 members of WJSN leaving agency, and also with multiple members being currently signed as actresses under King Kong by Starship (that's their division/branch for actresses), and getting those acting roles left and right, and with Yeoreum being busy with EL7Z UP. That would actually be good thing to bring some talent add it to current trainees and debut a group in time when IVE would go for a World Tour or just to give IVE members longer break between comebacks, like 5-6 months, those girls need to rest too. Because Starship likes to debut their trainees young I would say the ones like Seoyeon, Himena, Hyewon would fit. Maybe Ruka or Jeemin would be nice but then they will probably be the oldest ones. I sadly can't see Starship taking in Jiwoo, Funa, Moa or Chanelle, they will probably be 'too old' for agency standards

Good thread but there is a big problem.

These talanted idols minus Jeemin are pretty old for idol standards.

That is probably the main reason why HYBE didn't debut any of them.

Especially in 4th/5th gen with leading Group Newjeans and probably Babymonster it shows what the current trend for the top groups are.

Jeemin is '05 liner, same as Ruka

for example Himena and Seoyeon were born 2008

and Jeongeun, and Jihyun in 2004

if you look at I'll - It line up

Yunah 2004

Minju 2004

Moka 2004

Youngseo 2005

Wonhee 2007

Iroha 2008

I think it's just a overall mistake of people who are assuming things like oh Wonhee debuted so this is group of babies, when it's not lol

Quote from better-than-sex

Hybe may still take some of them like what they did with the other i-land trainees. You'll just have to wait for a new Hybe subsidiary

with loosing that billion in USA?

don't think so unless they will take different approach this time and just do 1 MV filmed in studio with 3/4 smaller sets, instead of doing multiple MV's, with different locations even in foreign countries

then it make sense because hype for some trainees is there but the investment won't be that big
